Marcos 5:4

4 Muchas veces lo habían atado con cadenas y grilletes, pero él los destrozaba, y nadie tenía fuerza para dominarlo.

Marcos 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:4

Because that he had been often bound with fetters and
chains
Trial had been made several times, to no purpose; his arms had been bound with chains, and his feet with fetters, which was very proper to prevent doing hurt to himself, and injury to others:

and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters
broken in pieces;
as if they had been twine threads; such was his strength, through the force of madness, and the possession of Satan, and his diabolical influence:

neither could any man tame him;
by any methods whatever; even such who undertook the cure of madness, or to exorcise those that were possessed: this man was so furious and outrageous, that he was not to be managed any way, either by art or force.

Marcos 5:4 In-Context

2 Tan pronto como desembarcó Jesús, un hombre poseído por un espíritu maligno le salió al encuentro de entre los sepulcros.

3 Este hombre vivía en los sepulcros, y ya nadie podía sujetarlo, ni siquiera con cadenas.

4 Muchas veces lo habían atado con cadenas y grilletes, pero él los destrozaba, y nadie tenía fuerza para dominarlo.

5 Noche y día andaba por los sepulcros y por las colinas, gritando y golpeándose con piedras.

6 Cuando vio a Jesús desde lejos, corrió y se postró delante de él.
